Progressives: tired of tilting my head up for distance - is there a solution???
Been wearing progressive eyeglasses for years and adapted fine to them. Extremely farsighted (+7) with astigmatism (CYL 1.50) and a 2.50 add. The struggle is with distance. I've had a few different scripts over the years and though reading and medium distance feel fine I've always had to tilt my head up for full far distance focus. I'm updating my script and want to improve this. I'm paying a lot for high end digital lenses. Has anyone been through this and found a solution? My current optician is saying if I raise my segment height (move the lenses up in the frame) then I can correct the distance thing but it'll also raise my reading position. I actually tried that by putting some spacers on the bridge and it does of course fix the distance thing but throws off the close. I've read that one thing that might help is increasing the vertical corridor so there's more space in the lenses from close to far. It's all frustrating because my sweet spot for distance is just about halfway up the lenses - but my natural pupil position is much closer to the top for distance. Anyway if anyone's had experience with modifying the vertical corridor I'd love to hear about it. Thanks very much.
